Welfare state & family

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Health insurance premiums
Should the federal government allocate more funding for health insurance premium subsidies?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The challenge of health care costs must be tackled at the root: Support contributions should not increase, but health care costs must decrease.
Die Herausforderung der Gesundheitskosten muss an der Wurzel gepackt werden: Es sollten nicht die Unterstützungsbeiträge steigen, sondern die Gesundheitskosten müssen sinken.
Pensions for married couples
For married couples, the pension is currently limited to 150% of the maximum individual AHV pension (capping). Should this limit be eliminated?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The current financial situation of the AHV does not allow us to give gifts to the population. The stabilization of the AHV is now in the foreground, which we will achieve with the pension initiative.
Die momentane finanzielle Lage der AHV erlaubt es nicht, Geschenke an die Bevölkerung zu machen. Die Stabilisierung der AHV steht nun im Vordergrund, die wir mit der Renteninitiative erreichen werden.
Reduce LPP pensions
As part of the reform of the BVG (occupational pension plan), pensions are to be reduced (lowering the minimum conversion rate from 6.8% to 6%). Are you in favor of this measure?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Extend parental leave
Should paid parental leave be increased beyond today's 14 weeks of maternity leave and two weeks of paternity leave? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Not necessarily expanded, but liberalized. I support the introduction of parental leave, where couples can freely dispose of the 16 weeks.
Nicht unbedingt ausgebaut, jedoch liberalisiert. Ich befürworte die Einführung einer Elternzeit, bei der die Paare frei über die 16 Wochen verfügen können.

Are you in favor of the introduction of a tax on foods containing sugar (sugar tax)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Contribution to healthcare costs
Should insured persons contribute more to health care costs (e.g., increase the minimum deductible)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Higher deductibles lead to lower premiums. This strengthens personal responsibility and also dampens cost pressure in the long term.
Höhere Franchisen führen zu niedrigeren Prämien. Dies stärkt die Eigenverantwortung und dämpft langfristig auch den Kostendruck.
Limit the powers of the Federal Council in the event of a pandemic
Should the Federal Council's ability to restrict private and economic life in the event of a pandemic be more limited?

Education
Inclusive schooling
According to the Swiss integrated schooling concept, children with learning difficulties or disabilities should be taught in regular classes. Do you approve of this concept?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
As long as this does not overburden teachers and does not limit the learning quality of all students, integration should take precedence over separation.
Solange dies nicht zur Überforderung der Lehrpersonen führt und die Lernqualität aller Schüler nicht einschränkt, sollte Integration vor Separation gelten.
Tighten the requirements for obtaining a high school diploma
Should the federal government raise the requirements for the gymnasiale matura?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The secret of our success is the dual education system. Vocational apprenticeships urgently need to become more attractive.
Unser Erfolgsgeheimnis ist das duale Bildungssystem. Die Berufslehre muss dringend an Attraktivität gewinnen.
Equal opportunities in education
Should the state be more committed to equal educational opportunities (e.g., through subsidized remedial courses for students from low-income families)?

|---|---|---|---|
Increase the quota of third-country nationals for skilled workers
Should more qualified workers from non-EU/EFTA countries be allowed to work in Switzerland (increase third-country quota)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This quota should be adapted to the needs of the economy, especially due to the shortage of skilled workers. Graduates of Swiss institutions from non-EU countries should also not be forced to leave Switzerland when the quota is reached, even though they have a job offer.
Dieses Kontingent soll den Bedürfnissen der Wirtschaft angepasst werden, insbesondere aufgrund des Fachkräftemangels. Absolventen von Schweizer Institutionen aus Nicht-EU-Staaten sollten außerdem nicht gezwungen sein, die Schweiz zu verlassen, wenn das Kontingent erreicht ist, obwohl sie ein Stellenangebot haben.

Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I support the introduction of an official third gender. However, the laws must first be adapted in a gender-neutral way, for example in the area of military service.
Ich befürworte die Einführung eines amtlichen dritten Geschlechts. Allerdings müssen die Gesetze zuerst geschlechterneutral adaptiert werden, zum Beispiel im Bereich des Militärdienstes.
Equality between same-sex and heterosexual couples

|---|---|---|---|
Regulate the financial sector more strictly
Do you support stricter regulations for the financial sector (e.g., stricter capital requirements for banks, ban on bonuses)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Regulations do not necessarily have to become stricter, they must take effect. Systemically important banks must recognize their responsibility to society. Freedom means responsibility. Intelligent rules and strong supervision are crucial. Managers should have no excuses and be held accountable for their actions under civil and criminal law. No bonuses for state bailouts. Emergency law should apply as a last resort.
Die Regulierungen müssen nicht zwingend strenger werden, sie müssen greifen. Systemrelevante Banken müssen ihre Verantwortung gegenüber der Gesellschaft anerkennen. Freiheit bedeutet Verantwortung. Intelligente Regeln und starke Aufsicht sind entscheidend. Manager sollen keine Ausreden haben und für ihr Handeln zivil- und strafrechtlich zur Verantwortung gezogen werden. Keine Boni bei staatlicher Rettung. Notrecht soll als letztes Mittel gelten.

Wage equality between women and men
Are you in favor of stricter controls on equal pay for women and men?

The wage difference between single women and men is less than 3%. Therefore, it is definitely more important to promote the compatibility of family and career.
Die Lohndifferenz zwischen ledigen Frauen und Männern beträgt weniger als 3%. Daher ist es definitiv wichtiger, die Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf zu fördern.

Ban on single-use plastics
Would you support a ban on single-use plastic and non-recyclable plastics? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Bans do not achieve their goals. Instead, innovation must be promoted to create more attractive alternatives.
Verbote sind nicht zielführend. Stattdessen muss Innovation gefördert werden, um attraktivere Alternativen zu schaffen.

Digitizing public services
Should the federal government be given additional powers in the area of digitization of government services in order to be able to impose binding directives and standards on the cantons?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In principle, centralization processes with a reduction in cantonal competencies are not to be welcomed. But with regard to digitization, we face major challenges at all levels. In order to bring about progress quickly, a competence center would be expedient in the short term.
Grundsätzlich sind Zentralisierungsprozesse mit Verkleinerung der kantonalen Kompetenzen nicht zu begrüßen. Doch hinsichtlich der Digitalisierung stehen wir vor großen Herausforderungen auf allen Ebenen. Um den Fortschritt rasch herbeizuführen, ist ein Kompetenzzentrum kurzfristig zielführend.
